OnePlus 7 will be unwrapped by the Chinese tech powerhouse on May 14 and looks set to diverge from tradition by appearing in multiple models.

It is expected the OnePlus 7 will be unveiled in three variants; the standard OnePlus 7, the OnePlus 7 Pro and the OnePlus 7 Pro 5G.

The standard OnePlus 7 has been tipped to be an incremental upgrade over the OnePlus 6T, according to alleged renders of the hardware that recently surfaced courtesy of Pricebaba collaborating with OnLeaks.

The device was displayed looking incredibly similar to its predecessor; the claimed product had a teardrop-shaped notch, a dual camera system and was said to have a familiar screen size of 6.4-inches.

OnePlus 7 is expected to present most of its alterations internally; it is anticipated Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 855 processor will power the device.

Additionally, the product has also been rumoured to come with a new primary camera that is 48-megapixels.

The OnePlus 7 Pro seems to be where the biggest design changes are set to debut; the product appears to be more premium and could be engineered to challenge some of the best devices from Samsung, Huawei and Apple.

Claimed renders of the device, again shown by Pricebaba and OnLeaks, have suggested it will have an all-screen design without a notch.

The implementation of the striking screen was said to be possible thanks to a pop-up selfie camera that is housed at the top of the phone's frame.

Most notably, a trio of cameras were shown in the renders; a feature that has since been confirmed by OnePlus in a tweet.

OnLeaks has iterated the OnePlus 7 Pro's camera array will be comprised of a 48-megapixel primary sensor that is accompanied by a telephoto and an ultra wide-angle system.

Such a claim appears to have been confirmed by a recent tweet from OnePlus that showed images snapped on the 7 Pro.

The Chinese tech company showed three photos of the same scene but each varied in the amount of information it showed.

The first OnePlus 7 Pro shot appeared to have been taken by an ultra wide-angle camera thanks to the larger field of view - the other two shots appeared to have been captured from the phone's standard and telephoto modules respectively.

Additionally, Wired recently insisted it was able to go hands-on with the OnePlus 7 Pro's main camera and telephoto sensor it claimed was capable of delivering a 3-times optical zoom.

The outlet praised the 7 Pro's zooming capabilities and said it represented a marked improvement over the OnePlus 6T.
